A structured transition from Portugal’s investor visa programme into Italy.
Portugal’s golden visa changed its rules three times between 2022 and 2025. The real estate route closed. Processing times stretched past 40 months for some applicants, and in October 2025 the government confirmed publicly that investor cases had been handled last. Families who had committed capital were left waiting with no timeline in sight.
For families already inside the Portuguese system, or those who had been planning to enter it, We manage your full transition into the Italy Golden Visa program, start to finish.
We start with an AI-powered eligibility check that quickly assesses your likely pathways, required documentation and any immediate blockers. It does not replace legal advice, but it saves time and identifies the right route.
In case you are eligible, the next step is a 30-minute private session with our CEO. We verify the AI summary, collect high-level source-of-fund information and deliver a written next-steps memo. This session is charged to preserve resources and focus, and the fee is refunded if you engage Brera for the full concierge package.
We coordinate with immigration counsel, evaluate eligibility and issue a written legal opinion and pre-approval strategy. We do not ask for capital until this clearance is issued.
We design and implement a regulated vehicle. Custody, audit and governance structures are put in place to protect capital and retain liquidity options where possible.
Dossier assembly, document pre-fill, consular appointment management and one-to-one interview coaching. We manage all consular communications and scheduling.
We submit the application, monitor progress in your private portal and escalate where necessary until the visa or Nulla Osta is granted.
Codice Fiscale, bank introductions, school search, housing, tax registration and ongoing governance. We remain your long-term steward for family mobility and asset oversight.

Italy’s €300,000 substitute tax regime for new residents.
The Italian flat tax regime allows qualifying individuals to substitute foreign-source income taxation with a fixed annual payment. It is particularly relevant for high-net-worth individuals with international income streams seeking predictability and clarity within the Italian tax system.
Special tax regime for eligible pensioners relocating to Southern Italy.
The 7% tax regime applies to qualifying foreign pension income for individuals relocating to specific municipalities in Southern Italy. It offers a reduced flat taxation on foreign income for a defined period, subject to statutory requirements.
Structured capital allocation aligned with residency objectives.
Our Strategic Asset Allocation service focuses on constructing disciplined, diversified portfolios that align with both financial performance and mobility goals. Whether through qualifying Golden Visa pathways or broader allocation strategies, the emphasis remains on governance, transparency, and long-term capital preservation.
Strategic property acquisition and structuring.
We assist clients in identifying, evaluating, and structuring Italian real estate assets, whether for lifestyle, income generation, or long-term capital appreciation. The approach is analytical and due diligence-driven, avoiding purely speculative property transactions.
End-to-end relocation coordination.
Strategic residency and citizenship planning through structured funding pathways.
Economic Residency is the intersection between capital allocation and legal positioning. We assist internationally mobile families and entrepreneurs in structuring compliant residency options aligned with their broader financial, tax, and family objectives. The focus is not on the visa itself, but on integrating mobility into long-term wealth planning.
Residency by capital deployment through Italy’s Golden Visa Programme.
The Italian Golden Visa allows non-EU nationals to obtain Italian residency through qualifying capital commitments. The programme is asset-led, not property-driven, and provides approval before funds are deployed. It offers a structured pathway to long-term European residency without mandatory relocation requirements.
Italian residency for financially independent individuals.
The Elective Residence Visa is designed for individuals with stable passive income who wish to reside in Italy without engaging in local employment. It is particularly suitable for retirees, wealth holders, and families seeking lifestyle relocation supported by independent financial resources.
